Chapter 120: The Insidious Sima Yi

Knowing that Sima Yi had a conspiracy, Liu Hou could only give orders to go down, and the whole army woke up and was vigilant and vigilant, and dealt with emergencies at any time. Several people discussed the next course of action, and decided to send someone to attack Xiangyang City tentatively tomorrow.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Liu Hou gathered his men and horses to prepare to attack the city. Yesterday, when the siege was being discussed, the vulture was present, and as soon as he heard that there was a siege mission, he stalked about the first mission.

Liu Hou told him that tomorrow's task is probably not cheap, and it is likely to be a tough battle.

He has always hoped to fight a tough battle, but since following this little emperor, every time he fights, his side has an overwhelming advantage, and every time he faces the enemy, he is crushed at the first touch, and every time he is taken by the guys in the firearms unit, and after defeating the enemy, it is his turn to come forward to pick up the cheap.

Although in this way, there are few casualties among his subordinates, but this style of play is too boring, and the vultures can't find a cool point at all.

Now that he heard the little emperor say that there was a tough battle, he was so excited that he trembled, and he must snatch this first attack task. Liu Hou was dizzy from his quarrel, so he agreed to him, but for his safety, Liu Hou still sent Zhang Bao's group to cover and answer him in the back.

As usual, Liu Hou led the army in the south gate of Xiangyang City about 400 steps away from the formation of the position, the reason why the choice of 400 steps is to scruple to the Wei army's bed crossbow, 400 steps is their effective range, outside this distance, and then put a row of tower shields in front of him, safety can basically be guaranteed.

Looking up, Liu Hou saw that there were many banners embroidered with the words "Wei" and "Sima" fluttering at the head of the city, and it seemed that Sima Yi was really guarding the city.

At this time, I saw a person shouting at the top of the city, because the distance was too far, I couldn't see what this person looked like, what clothes he was wearing, what identity he was, and of course, I couldn't hear what he was shouting.

"Go, put up a flesh microphone and see what he's shouting." Liu Hou said to Zhao Tong behind him. Zhao Tong agreed, and went down to arrange manpower. The so-called human flesh microphone is very simple, it is a person standing every twenty steps, from this end all the way to the city wall.

The person standing under the city wall heard the words of the person shouting at the head of the city, so he shouted to the person behind him, and after the second person heard the first person shouting, he continued to shout to the third person, and so on and so on, and finally the words of the person who shouted on the city wall could be transmitted to Liu Hou.

This method is often used by the Shu army in the army, and when the general is usually speaking in front of the army, in the face of thousands of people, or even tens of thousands of people, how can the people standing behind hear it? It is by relying on this method that the content of the lecture can be disseminated throughout the army.

The microphone team was quickly set up, and Liu Hou looked at it, standing at the end of the line, it was his cousin Mi Zhao who directly spoke to Liu Hou. It turned out that Mi Zhao and Kong Ci got Liu Hou's promise since Shangyuan Festival, and immediately went back to speed up the progress of the course, and finally finished all the courses before Liu Hou set out on the expedition.

After the two got their graduation certificates, they came to Liu Hou without telling their families, Liu Hou really included the two of them in the army, Mi Zhao was organized in the pro-guard regiment, and followed Zhao Tongming, while Kong Ci went to the front-line troops and became a platoon commander under Guan Xing.

After a while, Liu Hou heard Mi Zhao send back the words: "His Majesty, the Emperor of Shu, I am Sima Yi, please come to the city to meet." ”

Hearing this, Liu Hou rolled his eyes, looked around, and said with a smile to the strategists and fierce generals who were gathered around: "This Sima Lao'er, I really can't do it when I am a three-year-old child, let me go to the city, why don't he come out of the city to meet me." ”

When Liu Hou was in later generations, he could often see such a plot from film and television works: a fierce general, walking alone to the city gate, talking to the people at the city gate with a loud voice.

Liu Hou was very skeptical of this plot, because there were so many enemies standing on the city wall, if they all picked up bows and arrows and fired a salvo, unless the person in the city had a hand speed of four hundred and could dance the weapon in his hand as fast as a fan blade, he would definitely become a hedgehog.

Of course, he could also be standing outside the range of the bow and arrow, but in this way, everyone is so far away that without a megaphone, can they hear each other's words?

Liu Hou thinks that his martial arts are not strong enough to be so strong that he can block hundreds of feather arrows in an instant, and besides, in addition to ordinary arrows shot by manpower, there are terrifying things like bed crossbows in this world. This kind of thing is with the help of mechanical power, which cannot be stopped by humans, except of course, for non-humans such as vultures.

Of course, Liu Hou would not risk his life and went to the city wall to fight with Sima Yi, but he was not tired of being tired, so he shouted back: "Zhongda (Sima Yi's character), why don't you go out of the city and meet me, I will prepare a thin wine to entertain you." ”

After Mi Zhao passed on this sentence for a while, he said again: "Also, Zhong Dadu said that you are erudite and strong, why did you even remember our country name wrong, I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty, not the Shu Kingdom, don't remember it wrong next time." ”

There is no way, this kind of long-distance communication is troublesome, you have to speak one by one, you have to pause every time you say a word, and wait for the human microphone to pass the words out before you can continue to say the second sentence, if you say a long sentence at once, it will be troublesome if a certain soldier in charge of transmission forgets it.

After a while, Sima Yi's words finally came back: "Thank you for your kind invitation, but what kind of wine can your Majesty have in the army, it is better for Your Majesty to enter the city and have a good drink." Xiangyang City is an important place for north-south transportation, where the world's fine wine and food are gathered, and your majesty will not be disappointed. ”

Liu Hou secretly scolded Sima Yi for being bored, if he wants to beat him, what's the use of saying that these three-year-old children won't believe it, who would be so stupid to send a sheep into the tiger's mouth? Sima Yi's next sentence continued:

"Also, if Yi remembers correctly, the Han Dynasty has fallen, how can the Han Emperor speak of it. Is it a fake? Or is the Great Khan that His Majesty is talking about as the sweat of sweat? ”

Liu Hou really sweated, why was this Sima Yi such a witty person? Isn't he sinister and cunning, like a fox and a wolf? How do you pretend to be a pleasant goat?

"Zhongda, so you can joke too? I think that my Han Dynasty has been established for more than 400 years, and the children of the Liu family are all over the world, how can I say that I will die?

My father is the emperor's uncle, and I am naturally the emperor's brother. My brother was forced by traitors to usurp the throne, and as the emperor's brother, it is my duty to help my brother punish the traitors and regain the throne.

If I want to do something so meaningful, why don't Zhongda come over and help me. With your help, I believe that in less than a year, we will be able to unify the world and revitalize the Han dynasty.

When the time comes, you will be a hero from the dragon, how good is this, when the time comes, I will definitely ask Prime Minister Zhuge to give up the position of prime minister to you, let you be a supreme minister, and give you a knighthood, how about a duke? If you are not satisfied, it is not impossible to be crowned king. ”

Liu Hou finished saying this paragraph one by one, feeling very proud, and thought, hmph, you are my three-year-old child, and I want to lure me forward and harm me, so I will give you some eye medicine, recruit you in public, and promise you heavy benefits, and see if Cao Pi will be suspicious of you in the future.

Liu Hou knew that it was impossible for Sima Yi to surrender after saying two words by himself, so he didn't mind running the train with his mouth full of mouths, indiscriminately sealing the official Xu Jue, not to mention the prince, where in the Han Dynasty there was a king with a different surname, even if it was a duke, it was a rare thing.

You must know that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei are sworn brothers, and they are just concubines, and the two of them have not caught the duke.

"Oh? I didn't expect His Majesty to value a certain family so much, Yi is really ashamed. Sima Yi's words came back again.

"Of course, I think that Zhong Da is one of the smartest and most talented people in the world, and if you are willing to serve, I will definitely meet you, and I will definitely treat you as a teacher.

I will reward you heavily, you want power, I will give you the power of a supreme minister, you want money, I will give you ten thousand taels of gold, and even make you the richest man in the world. What do you think? Think about it. ”

"It sounds like the conditions are not bad, why don't you step forward and tell Yi how to reward so-and-so......" Sima Yi said.

"Not good! There are artillery, there are cannons on the city walls, get out of here! This time it was not Sima Yi or Liu Hou who spoke, but Guo Youzhi, who had been holding his glasses and watching the situation on the city wall. From the telescope, he finally found a few black hole cannons, and immediately interrupted the conversation between Liu Hou and Sima Yi, warning Liu Hou.

The reason why he was able to spot these cannons was also because the cloth covering the cannons had been lifted, revealing the muzzles of black holes. The cloth was lifted because it was time to ignite the cannon.

It turned out that Sima Yi had been talking to Liu Hou for a purpose, and the reason why he had these childish and ridiculous conversations with Liu Hou was to determine Liu Hou's position and gain time for the artillery to complete aiming.

Because Liu Hou is not like ordinary emperors, he has to let people play Huangluo umbrellas or big fans behind him when he travels, but like other generals, he rides a high-headed horse, so at such a distance, the people at the head of the city can't be sure that it is the emperor of Shu for a while.

Therefore, Sima Yi tried to lure Liu Hou out to answer, who knows, Liu Hou actually made a human flesh microphone out of his own cleverness, and Sima Yi found out the location of the little emperor of Shu from the end of this human flesh microphone. So, he let the artillery secretly aim at the little emperor.

The artillery was pre-loaded with ammunition and then covered with a gray cloth similar to a city wall, so Guo Youzhi looked at it with a telescope for a long time and did not find these cannons until the Wei artillery finished aiming, lifted the gun jacket, and was about to ignite the cannon.
